Close fight. Thurman landed the cleaner more effective shots. Buckling Porter on a couple occasions. Porter being the aggressor. Was effective on the inside mauling Thurman to the head and body.

All depends on how judges see the fight. I had it a draw or 1 point win for Porter... but it seems the judges liked Thurman's speed more than Porters rough house tactics. I'll say one thing... Thurman has never been in that tough a fight... and Porter certainly has nothing to be ashamed of. The only thing I think he lacked was enough aggression and punches when he had Thurman at or close to the ropes. Porter has a steel chin and is one tough dude. I look forward to seeing him fight again.

I had Porter winning by two points. However, I am not surprised by the decision. Judges don't look at Porter's style favorably, unless he scores knockdowns.
On another note, I have to give Thurman props for for entering the ring. I thought he was going to fake an injury in the dressing room to get out of the fight again.
